August Workshops

On Sunday, August 19, H. E. Davey Sensei will be teaching two special workshops at the Sennin Foundation Center. We previously indicated August 26 as the date of these workshops, but we’ve had to change the date to the 19^th.

“Unlocking the Hidden Power of the Mind,” the Japanese yoga workshop for adults, will focus on Nakamura Tempu Sensei’s principles for strengthening the mind and realizing our full potential in daily life. Concentration and the power of positive thinking will be just two important topics covered.

The martial arts workshop for children and adults will focus again on Saigo Ryu tanbojutsu, the art of the 16-inch stick. This will be a continuation of last month’s tanbojutsu workshop, and Davey Sensei will be introducing more advanced techniques for nonviolent self-protection using the tanbo. Tanbo can be purchased at the dojo.

Prices and times will be the same as prior workshops, and more information will be e-mailed to Sennin Foundation members in the near future. Please set aside Sunday morning on August 19 for this important event.

Order the Sennin Foundation Meditation CD

The Sennin Foundation Center is now offering a new Anjo Daza Ho Meditation CD for just $8.95 (plus $3.00 U.S. shipping, $6.00 international). This unique CD is only sold by us, and it features the soothing sound of a classic Japanese meditation bell, timed at particular intervals, which can be used for Anjo Daza Ho meditation (as described in H. E. Davey Sensei's book Japanese Yoga). These kane, Japanese bowl-shaped bells, aren't widely available outside of Japan, and Anjo Daza Ho uses this sound to powerfully focus the mind for meditation. A special buzzer can also be used to effectively concentrate the mind, and this distinctive hum is included in our new CD as well. Click on the image above to order your CD today.

Order "The Japanese Way of the Artist"

Click on the image above to order your copy of The Japanese Way of the Artist. Including extensive illustrations and an all-new introduction by the author, The Japanese Way of the Artist (Stone Bridge Press, September 2007) anthologizes three complete, out-of-print works by the Director of the Sennin Foundation Center for Japanese Cultural Arts. With penetrating insight into the universe of Japanese spiritual, artistic, and martial traditions, H. E. Davey explores everything from karate to calligraphy, ikebana to tea, demonstrating how all traditional Japanese arts share the same spiritual goals: serenity, mind/body harmony, awareness, and a sense of connection to the universe.
